(I). A.L.R. These are verses from the Wise Book.

T.B.Irving 10:1

2

Does it seem astonishing to mankind that We should inspire a man from among themselves: "Warn mankind, and spread news to those who believe that they are on a sound footing with their Lord"? Disbelievers say: "This is an obvious magician."

T.B.Irving 10:2

3

Your Lord is God (Alone), Who created Heaven and Earth in six days. Then he ascended the Throne to regulate the matter. There is no intercessor until He gives permission (for it). Such is God, your Lord, so worship Him. Will you not reflect?

T.B.Irving 10:3

4

To Him will you all return. God's promise is true; He begins with creation then performs it all over again so He may reward those who believe and perform honorable deeds in (all) fairness. Those who disbelieve will have scalding water to drink and painful torment because they have been disbelieving.

T.B.Irving 10:4

5

He it is Who has placed the sun for radiance and the moon for (reflected) light, and measured it out in phases so you may know how to count out the years and (to make other such) reckoning. God did not create that except for the Truth. He spells out signs for folk who know.

T.B.Irving 10:5

6

In the alternation between night and daytime, and whatever God has created in Heaven and Earth, there are signs for folk who heed.

T.B.Irving 10:6

7

Those who do not expect to meet Us and are pleased with worldly life, and feel at ease about it, as well as those who are heedless of Our signs

T.B.Irving 10:7

8

will find their lodging in the Fire because of what they have been earning.

T.B.Irving 10:8

9

Their Lord guides those who believe and perform honorable deeds according to their faith: rivers will flow beneath them in gardens of delight;

T.B.Irving 10:9

10

their cry in it will be: "Glory be to You, O God!", while their greeting in it will be: "Peace!", and the close of their appeal: "Praise be to God, Lord of the Universe!"

T.B.Irving 10:10

11

(II) If God were to hasten up evil for mankind just as they seek to hasten good, then their deadline would have been decreed for them. We leave those who do not hope to meet Us groping along in their arrogance.

T.B.Irving 10:11

12

whenever any trouble touches man, he appeals to Us while(lying)on his side, seated, or standing;yet when We remove his trouble from him, he walks away as if he had never appealed to Us(at all)because of the trouble which had afflicted him. Thus anything they have been doing seems attractive to the dissipated.

T.B.Irving 10:12

13

We have destroyed generations before you when they did wrong and their messengers had brought them explanations, and they would still not believe. Thus We reward criminal folk.

T.B.Irving 10:13

14

Then We placed you as overlords on earth after them, so We might see how you would act.

T.B.Irving 10:14

15

When Our clear signs are recited to those who do not expect to meet Us, they say: "Bring some other Reading than this, or else change it!" SAY: "It is not up to me to change it of my own accord, because of whatever I may encounter in it on my own. I merely follow what is inspired in me. I fear torment on an awful day if I should disobey my Lord!"

T.B.Irving 10:15

16

SAY: "If God had so wished, I would not have recited it to you nor advised you about it. I lived for a lifetime among you before (receiving) it. So will you not use your reason?"

T.B.Irving 10:16

17

Who is more in the wrong than someone who invents a lie about God or rejects His signs? It is a fact that criminals will not succeed!

T.B.Irving 10:17

18

Instead of God they serve what neither harms nor benefits them, and they say: "These are our intercessors with God." SAY: "Do you (presume to) notify God about something in Heaven and on Earth that He already does not know? Glory be to Him; Exalted is He over whatever they associate (with Him)!"

T.B.Irving 10:18

19

Mankind was once just one nation; then they disagreed. If word had not come on ahead from your Lord, what they had been disagreeing over would have been settled for them.

T.B.Irving 10:19

20

They say: "If a sign were only sent down by his Lord for him!"; so SAY: "The Unseen belongs only to God, so wait: I am waiting alongside you."

T.B.Irving 10:20

21

(III) Whenever We let mankind taste mercy after some adversity has afflicted them, why they cook up some scheme about Our signs! SAY: "God is much Swifter in scheming." Our messengers write down whatever they are plotting.

T.B.Irving 10:21

22

He is the One Who sends you travelling along on land and at sea until when you are on board a ship, and sailing along under a fair wind and they feel happy about it, a stormy wind comes upon them and waves reach at them from all sides and they think they are being surrounded by them. They appeal to God sincerely, (offering their) religion to Him: "If You will save us from this, we will be grateful!"

T.B.Irving 10:22

23

Yet once He has saved them, why they act wilfully on earth without any right to (do so). Mankind, your wilfulness falls only on yourselves to be enjoyed during worldly life; then to Us will be your return, and We will notify you (all).about whatever you have been doing!

T.B.Irving 10:23

24

Worldly life may be compared to water We send down from the sky. It mingles with the plants of the earth on which mankind and livestock feed until, when the earth takes on its trimmings and looks attractive, and its people think that they will be able to use them as they like, Our command comes along to it by night or daytime, and We mow it down ahead of time just as though it had not been so lush the day before. Thus We spell out signs for folk who will think things over.

T.B.Irving 10:24

25

God invites (us) to the Home of Peace, and guides anyone He wishes to, to a Straight Road.

T.B.Irving 10:25

26

Those who act kindly will have kindness and even more besides, while neither soot nor any disgrace will line their faces. Those will be inhabitants of the Garden; they will live in it for ever.

T.B.Irving 10:26

27

Those who have acquired evil deeds will have an evil reward similar to them. Disgrace will overshadow them; they will have no defender from God, just as if their faces had been covered with a strip of darkest night. Those will become inmates of the Fire; they will live there for ever.

T.B.Irving 10:27

28

Some day We will summon them all together; then We shall tell those who have associated (others in Our worship); "(Keep to) your place, you and your associates!" We will sort them out, and their associates will say: "You did not worship Us

T.B.Irving 10:28

29

God suffices as a Witness between us and you. We were unaware that you were even worshipping us."

T.B.Irving 10:29

30

There each soul will be tested for whatever it has sent on ahead in the past, and they will be handed over to God, their rightful Patron. Anything they have invented will leave them in the lurch.

T.B.Irving 10:30
